I'm a new Southwest Bee Keeper

Hello,
I'm new to bee keeping and live in a small rural town 90 miles Northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm looking for other bee keepers who live in the Nevada/Arizona/So. Utah area. I'm following the advice I have seen that says, "READ, READ, READ", but I don't find much about Southern Nevada/Southern Utah Bee keeping. Please let me know if you have this type of experience; I don't want to recreate the wheel.

Thanks Jeanette for the kind words. I agree I should be able to find someone close, but I hope to learn from everyone. I don't know if beekeeping is that different from region to region. Thanks for the "welcome".

I hope so. This forum will be invaluable. I am concerned and have questions with the heat we have here, which easily gets 110F+ in the summer. I big on calendaring, so I need to know when to extract honey.
